Looks to be based on a Mk3 Triumph Spitfire, modified in the mid 80s judging by the wheel trims...

Who built this, and what is it called (clue; it is not what is written on the side of the car!).

Yes, it is British, and Triumph-based, so locked to you until your next reply to provide the remainder of the missing information.

Sorry to cause a bottleneck on this one -- nothing more to add, though I did try to communicate that. I couldn't post anything to the rookie puzzle after my status changed, so I sent you 2 pm's but neither shows in my sent mail.  ??
